ATOMlZER.

known as mouth sprays which howeverA does not necessarily mean anatomizer tor sprayingl the mouth but is generically applied Ytoatomizers in which the air pressure is supplied through a mouth piecethat is applied to the lip and blown upon. rllhe invention has tor itsobject toprovide a simple, eieient and inexpensive atomizer `of thistype having improved features oit construction wherein, with two parts,the device is simply made and yet will be tight in all its joints andseams. 'lo these and other ends the invention resides in certainimprovements and combinations ot parts all as will be hereinafter morelfully described, the novel `features beingl pointed out in the claimsat the end ot the specilication.

In the drawings:

Fig. l is a side view of an atoinizer constructed in accordance with andillustrating; one embodiment of my invention;

Fig. 2 is an enlarged perspective view ot the mouthpiece, detached;

Fig. 3 is a bottom view.

F ig. 4 is an enlarged section taken on the line four tour ont Fig. land Fig. 5 is an enlarged section on the line five live of Fig.' l.

Similar reference-numerals throughout the several views indicate thesame parts.

My improved atomizer operates on the well-lrnown principle wherein awell tube is inserted in an upright position in the liquid tobedispersed and a current oit air then blown transversely across theopen upper end which creates a partial vacuum in the tube and causes theliquid to rise therein and, in

overflowing at the top to be projected in a spray by the blast of air.ln the present instance the blast ot air is created by the operatorblowing` through the mouthpiece.

Referring` more particularly to the drawings, l indicates a preferablyseamless well tube that may be inserted in a. bottle or other liquidcontainer. The mouthpiece is indicated generally at 2. lt comprises aconical tube, flattened at its Vlarge end as indicated at 3 and having,`its small end Llabout the size ol the well tube l and arranged directlyat the mouth thereof to discharge air substantially at right anglesthereto although it is prei:- erable that the mouthpiece or air tubeshould be inclined slightly upwardly so that the blast of air will bedirected at a slight upward langle tothe. course ot the liquid as it yrises in the tube. The end 3 isot .a convenient lshape toplace betweenthe lips and the blast is concentrated at the small end t y Themouthpiece is formed of avsingle piece oli` metal. ',.he central portionthereoi" is rolled and then tattened as described, the`l` edges at themouthpiece being overlapped as indicated at 5in Fig. 3. At the oppositeorl discharge end, ears are `provided vwhich are rolled atright anglesto the axis ot the mouthpiece to 'form a socket sleeve 6 that litsclosely over the upper end ot the well tube l. These ears constituteextensions on a pair ot' tins 7 which proceed downwardly from the seamoi the mouthpiece tube and the llower edges ot' which extend at an anglefrom the lower end et the sleeve 6 upwardly and rearwardly to a point atwhich they are cut 'rom the lap seam 5 of the lip portion 3. These tinsare, therefore', in the nature ot a strengthening brace that makes themouth tube rigid with the well tube l. A lap 8 on .one of the tins isbrought over the edge of the other as clearly shown in Figure e andprovides an air-tight seam at the lower edges ot the lin so that the airpressure exerted by the operatoris not dissipated betere the blastreaches the point at which the atomizing occurs. I

The device may thus be constructed of only two parts and oi' very thinsheet metal but with the result that the parts are both rigidly andtightly connected. By emersing the device in a. tin bath the seamsheretofore referred to are sealed and in addition the sleeve 6 at themouthpiece is permanently secured to the well tube l.

claim as my invention:

l. In an atomizer, the combina-tion with a well tube, ci a mouth piecehaving an at omizing relationship with the upper end oit the tube, saidmouth piece being formed ot sheet material and provided at its seam witha flange havingan extension embracing and connecting it to the welltube.

Q. ln an atomizer, the combination with a well tube, and a tubular mouthpiece o' sheet material having an atomizing relation to said tube, oit apair ot iianges extending' trom the seam ot the mouth piece and havingtubular extensions embracing` and connectin he mouth` piece to thewelltube.

I3. ln an atomizer, the combination with a well tube, ot a tubular mouthpiecev of sheet material havingan atomizing relationloo ship with said\vell'tube, said mouth piece beine provided at its seam with twotriangular anges secured together and diverging toward the Well tube,the ends of the flanges being provided with portions embracing the tube.

4. In an atomizer, the combination with a Well tube, oi a mouth piecehaving an atomizing relationship with the uppeiend of the tube. saidmouth piece being formed of sheet material and provided atits seam witha pair of flanges, having an extension on one of said flangesconnecting" it to the Well tube, one of said flanges havingan edgeportion extending` past the other of'eaid' flanges, and bent overtheeame to form an air tight joint.

5. In' anv atoinizen` the Combination With a well tube, of a mouth pieceormedfrom a blanket 'sheet material and'having an atomizing`relationship with the upper end of the Well tube, said mouth piecebeine` provided at its seam with a flange integral therewith whichextends laterally from the mouth piece, said flange having;v thereon anintegrally formed sleeve adapted to engage the Well. tube.

6. ln an atomizer, the combination with a well tube, of a mouth pieceformed from a blank of sheetl material and having` an atomiziiro`relationship with the upper end of the Well tube, said mouth piecebeing' piovided at its seam with a pair ol' integral, subetantlialhTLeymmetrical flanges extending' radially from the mouth piece, Saidflanges having portions integral therewith extending'v axially past theend ot the mouth piece and Jformed for engagement with said Well tube.
